Buick launched the LaCrosse mid-size sedan during 2004 before developing this model through three generations to create its flagship sedan offer. The initial Buick LaCrosse model featured a 3.0 L V6 engine but this system was changed to the 2.4 L Ecotec four-cylinder engine during the 2010 model year to improve fuel economy. A 3.6 L V6 engine functioned as optional equipment in multiple Buick LaCrosse trims to allow consumers to achieve performance with adequate power. When the third-generation LaCrosse arrived in 2015 it received the E2XX platform that trimmed down its weight by 300 pounds and enlarged its silhouette slightly. Weight reduction became possible because Buick introduced high-strength steel and superior soundproofing materials into their design. As the LaCrosse entered the market GM equipped it with their fourth-generation High Feature engine for North American customers while the 2018 model year integrated an eAssist powertrain that combines a 2.5 L Ecotec petrol engine and a 27-hp hybrid electric motor and utilizes a six-speed automatic transmission. The Buick LaCrosse achieves competitive driving characteristics along with efficiency improvements because of this engine setup. The performance and reliability of the Buick LaCrosse depends on genuine factory-made components because their engineering follows exact specifications which leads to perfect fitment and operational results. The online availability of original Buick LaCrosse parts assists LaCrosse owners in sustaining their deluxe sedan through proper maintenance that sustains engineering specifications.
Buick LaCrosse Parts Questions & Answers
- Q: How to replace the alternator (LY7) on Buick LaCrosse?A: The first step in generator (LY7) replacement involves disconnecting the battery ground (negative) cable from the battery terminal. Start by taking off the torque struts then spin the engine to expose the generator so it can be removed. Begin by disconnecting the generator electrical connector and the Battery Cable and the generator b+ terminal nut. Begin by removing the Drive Belt alongside the idler pulley then proceed with unscrewing generator bolts as you remove the generator from the vehicle. Insert the generator into the vehicle and tighten generator bolts to 50 n.m (37 lb ft). Install the Drive Belt and idler pulley before completing generator electrical connector reconnection. Secure the generator b+ terminal nut by tightening it to 20 n.m (15 lb ft) while connecting the Battery Cable. Complete the installation by reinstalling torque struts and reconnecting the battery ground (negative) cable to the battery.
- Q: How to replace the right camshaft on Buick LaCrosse?A: Start at the upper Intake Manifold, and remove it along with the lower Intake Manifold; remove the Camshaft covers, Camshaft sensors, and the intake Camshaft position actuator solenoid. Next, withdraw the Crankshaft balancer and rotate the Crankshaft using Crankshaft rotation socket (EN 46111) until both the camshafts are in a neutral position, thus Camshaft flats are parallel with the Camshaft cover rail. In the Camshaft, use an open end wrench at the hex to prevent rotation and loosen the Camshaft position actuator bolt without removing. The Timing Chain retention tool (EN 46108) fully engaged into the Timing Chain and the en 46108 nuts are firmly tightened. Mark the Timing Chain and Camshaft position actuators to assemble them correctly and then remove the Camshaft position actuator bolt and the Camshaft bearing caps together with the Camshaft. For installation, align the Camshaft position actuators marks and position the camshafts to the Cylinder Head and assemble them on Camshaft actuators. Mount the camshafts and the Camshaft bearing caps, remove the en 46108 and replace the Crankshaft balancer. Use the open-end wrench for no further rotation when inserting and tightening the Camshaft position actuators, intake Camshaft position solenoid, the Camshaft sensors, and Camshaft cover, and eventually, the upper and lower Intake Manifold.
- Q: How to replace the steering wheel on Buick LaCrosse?A: First users must disable the sir system and turn off the ignition. Before removal of the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module the technician will align the Steering Wheel hub with the slash mark on the Steering Shaft by drawing an alignment mark. Set the Steering Wheel nut at a position directly against the Steering Shaft end. Use j 1859-a plus j 42578 to unseat the Steering Wheel from the Steering Shaft by placing these components on the Steering Wheel. Use the puller to detach the Steering Wheel then separate the Steering Wheel nut before removing both the Steering Wheel and sir connector installed on the wheel. When installing the Steering Wheel insert the sir connector along the new wheel path until its scribe mark matches with the slash on the shaft before putting the wheel into position. Reinstall the inflatable restraint Steering Wheel module after you install the Steering Shaft nut with torque set to 41 n.m (30 lb ft) while also enabling the sir system. Examine how the Horn works alongside Steering Wheel functions and Steering Wheel control mechanisms.
- Q: How to replace the water pump (LY7) on Buick LaCrosse?A: Draining the cooling system must happen first when replacing the Water Pump (LY7). Unfasten the generator Drive Belt from the engine. Attach the Water Pump Pulley holding tool en 46104 to the Water Pump and take out its bolts plus the pulley. Use the basin to discard the old Water Pump seal during removal of the Water Pump from its bolt connections. Prepare all Water Pump sealing areas for a new Water Pump seal and unit by cleaning them completely. Place the Water Pump bolts and torque them to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Safely replace the Water Pump Pulley under the Water Pump Pulley holding tool (EN 46104) and bolt it down with a torque of 12 n.m (106 lb in). Reattach the generator Drive Belt after filling the cooling system properly.
